I mean we probably should have seen this coming you gave me an easily aroace-interpreted highly likely touch starved probably ADHD man who somehow manages to win over project directors bodyguards dignitaries and aliens alike with his swagless cringefail slightly desperate yet somehow still charming rizz that lightens the air of every room he walks into because he learns everyone's names and gives credit to people for their contributions no matter how small and uses government funding to buy everyone on site their own bag of skittles as the world is ending while also maintaining a level of humility that is really just a window into how little he really thinks of his own abilities importance and himself in general to the point where he cries because he wishes he was more than he is and then you send him to space and gave him a genius engineer/inventor alien best friend with severe PTSD and survivors guilt who reached out first and got severely co-dependantly attached to him instantaneously due to how long he was isolated to the point where he prioritizes this man's comfort over his own literally making him an atmosphere he's safe in that is actively hostile to himself and then had them both individually almost die for each other save each other and then they save the literal stars because of the force of how much they care about each other and that relationship is platonic the whole time yet it's importance is never downplayed it's celebrated its the reason they succeed what did we expect to have happen this is my brand of everything

sounds very similar to a radio story i heard in 2014 ago about credit card debt. the debt got sold to a collection company and a couple received a court summons. they knew they had taken on debt, but they were confused about who this new company was and where specifically the number they were supposed to owe came from.

they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.

10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too

you wanna see some badass shit from the early 20th century?? The Lumière brothers created the first full color photograph… in fucking 1903! So these dudes dyed potatoes (in red, blue, and green), mashed them down into just pure fuckin’ starch, and used these dyed potato starches as filters to block out/let in certain wavelengths of light. They coated one side of a glass plate with the starches and sensitized the other side with a mixture of gelatin and light sensitive materials (silver nitrate) and loaded these plates in their cameras.. This is a really simple explanation of the process and I may have missed some things A few of my favorite autochrome photos:

that last one is literally a LOOK

cassiocantdrink

yes!

but lets not forget sergei prokudin-gorskiy, who developed a similar process in 1902, published in 1903 and then toured russia to take hundreds of color photographs:

AND the guy developed color slide processing as well. as a person fairly familiar with modern b/w processing at home, but never EVER stepping into color (negatives or slides) territory, i’d say, BAMF to the highest degree.

Here are a few more Prokudin-Gorskiy / Gorskii shots, and a reminder once again that these aren’t recently colourised BW images but original colour photos taken about 120 years ago. Many colourised pics don’t look this good. Some modern colour pics don’t look this good (as I know all too well. “Delete image Y/N? Y!”)

This is Leo Tolstoy, author of “War and Peace” and “Anna Karenina”.
